Hi,
Anyone bought one of these and if so has it lasted?

I bought a very similar one a while back, and I didn't get on very well to be honest. I had to modify the wiring as the connections were different, which was easy enough to do, but there was not enough adjustment on the wire speed. I think with a bit of messing about it would be OK, but I just CBA so it went back in the box!

Yours for £50 if you want it!

Im tempted myself. It wouldnt be for a few weeks until I had a chance to test it and give feedback. Hopefully others will come along and offer their feedback before I part with my cash

Those are made by North in China. The same factory that makes Miller's, Lincolns, HTP's and a few others. But it looks like a design unused by the other big companies. But it has some similar parts to my Miller...Bob

Yes I bought one last year, however apart from taking it out of the box to inspect it when it arrived, it's sat in it's box on the shelf every since and I've never used it! That's the problem with impulse purchases !
